6:30 pm
and 139 in parts of norway. for context, for those who remember the great storm, that produced gusts of 120 mph here. overnight tonight, something quieter. it turns cloudy for all parts and there will be drizzle or light rain coming through for western scotland with a few splits in the wind across western areas around the coasts. very mild and temperatures in double figures for a good part of scotland and northern ireland. tomorrow, damp weather coming into western parts of scotland, a windy day for all of us with a lot of cloud but that should break to the east of higher ground and across eastern areas we will see high—temperature is. 15 or even 16 across parts of eastern scotland, 1a in london. the average for this time of year is 7 degrees so very mild. one of the same on saturday and a lot of cloud and bits and pieces of rain and quite windy further northwards with sunshine and showers and colder air coming back in. those
6:31 pm
temperatures still above average for this stage of the year. 10 degrees typicalfor northern this stage of the year. 10 degrees typical for northern ireland and scotland and 1a or england and wales. and that's it from us. time for the new where you are. goodbye. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm gavin ramjaun. seven—time formula one champion lewis hamilton is poised for a shock move to ferrari, for the 2025 season, after more than ten years at mercedes i think we have a great formula 1 season coming up, it certainly looks like it would been excited one in 2025. the transfer deadline is looming — but will this chelsea striker get his move to a local premier league rival before 11pm? we'll bring you up to date shortly. and england pick uncapped 20—year—old spinner shoaib bashir for the second test against india which starts tomorrow
6:32 pm
also coming up on sportsday. changes for england ahead of their six nations opener with italy. george ford's in the starting line up, in the absence of marcus smith. and join me here in cardiff, the premier league of darts is back for the next 16 weeks month luke littler and company would be vital in its oats are on the uk and europe on that stage in an effort to become top dog. hello and welcome to the programme. they've shown their interest in him over the years. and it appears ferrari have now got their man. lewis hamilton is on the verge of signing for the italian f1 team, for the 2025 season. a huge move for the seven time champion. hamilton — a global star of the sport — started out in formula one at mclaren back in 2007 —
6:33 pm
winning the first of his titles a year later. a big move to mercedes came in 2013 — to replace the retiring michael schumacher. winning the rest of his titles there. could a record 8th title come at ferrari? bbc sport understands the move will happen in the nearfuture, but both teams are yet to comment. former world champion and ex—ferrari driver nigel mansell says he likes the sound of the move. i think the timing could be right for lewis i think the timing could be right for lewis hamilton i think the timing could be right for lewis hamilton because i think the timing could be right for lewis hamilton because ferrari has been knocking on the door of the world championship for the last four orso world championship for the last four or so years so they are ready to win and i'm sure if lewis hamilton goes so ferrari it would attract some other people that can benefit the team as well. people are saying lewis hamilton is too old, at 39, no, i won my world championship at 39 and could have going on but the politics involved. but if lewis hamilton is motivated, he has a lot more years left and i think it's fantastic, and he said credit to the
6:34 pm
fia and manufacturers having the longevity of the not formula 1 truck driver now, louis hamilton would do it and i'm sure max will do everything he can to stop him and i think ferrari would do everything this year to try to stop them, i think we have a great formula 1 season coming up, and certainly an exciting one for 2025. for the very latest on this — let's speak to the bbc�*s f1 reporterjenny gow. when will he know something more concrete on this?— concrete on this? that's what everyone _ concrete on this? that's what everyone has _ concrete on this? that's what everyone has asked - concrete on this? that's what everyone has asked all - concrete on this? that's what everyone has asked all day, l concrete on this? that's what| everyone has asked all day, it concrete on this? that's what - everyone has asked all day, it seems to be dragging out and drawing on. we thought we might hear something earlier on, but now we are looking at about 7pm for an announcement. i say that is speculation, there is no actual announcement that has been made about the announcement and when it will be made. the made about the announcement and when it will be made-— it will be made. the motivation for hamilton to _ it will be made. the motivation for hamilton to do _ it will be made. the motivation for hamilton to do this, _ it will be made. the motivation for hamilton to do this, and _ it will be made. the motivation for hamilton to do this, and eighth . hamilton to do this, and eighth title undoubtedly on the cards karsh cards, but what outside of that
6:35 pm
effectively?— cards, but what outside of that effectivel ? , ., effectively? interesting, we thought he would see _ effectively? interesting, we thought he would see out _ effectively? interesting, we thought he would see out his _ effectively? interesting, we thought he would see out his career - effectively? interesting, we thought he would see out his career at - he would see out his career at mercedes, become an ambassador like stirling moss stated and would spend the rest of his days like that, but this move to ferrari is something that tempted him and has been a temptation for his whole career. he is always started the with the idea of being a ferrari driver, he owns the ferraris as well and this seems a good sign for him to move. the revelations are changing in 2026, we already heard, and he has done this before, he has lined up a move and almost found the time for that move before it was due to happen, and it seems like he is preempting what would happen in 2026, and hopefully, for him another world championship. what impact do you think it would have on other drivers in the product —— product? some moving around? massive for the product i'm sure total with has had a very busy phone
6:36 pm
today with everyone trying to sell themselves to him but for mercedes, if lewis doesn't want it, it's still a attractive position for someone else. alex alban is one of the favourites but there are plenty of strong candidates and at the end of this year but lots of drivers with their contracts up for renewal, it is made it uncomfortable for some more have already signed, like lando norris —— lando norris, because that seat, is it better than mclaren, i don't know?— seat, is it better than mclaren, i don't know? �* . ., , ., don't know? and that rivalry would no don't know? and that rivalry would i o u . don't know? and that rivalry would no u- with don't know? and that rivalry would go no with max _ don't know? and that rivalry would go up with max verstappen. - don't know? and that rivalry would go up with max verstappen. is - don't know? and that rivalry would go up with max verstappen. is it . go up with max verstappen. is it what the sports need? it is exactly what the sports need? it is exactly what the sports need? it is exactly what the sport _ what the sports need? it is exactly what the sport needs. _ what the sports need? it is exactly what the sport needs. there - what the sports need? it is exactly what the sport needs. there is - what the sports need? it is exactly what the sport needs. there is no | what the sport needs. there is no question —— if the cars delivers. charles leclerc at ferrari as well, he could beat lewis hamilton's tenet, another interesting fight
6:37 pm
there, so it looks like we could get a interesting season in 2010 when this movie is finally an ounce. thank you, we watch a space. this time last year, football's winter transfer window had smashed the record for money spent by premier league teams — over £800 million, including 150 million on the final day. the equivalent for this year, is set to finish at a fraction of that. in one of the quietest windows of recent memory. we'll get the latest from some clubs in the spotlight in a moment. let's talk to joe lynskey first, who's in the studio with me. let's talk about morgan rogers who seems to be the headline deal of the day so so far testament to the leaner nature of this transfer window that a 21—year—old striker moving from the championship side middlesborough to aston villa is perhaps the headline completed the as it stands on transfer deadline day.— on transfer deadline day. morgan rouers on transfer deadline day. morgan rogers came _ on transfer deadline day. morgan rogers came through _ on transfer deadline day. morgan rogers came through as - on transfer deadline day. morgan rogers came through as a - on transfer deadline day. morgan i rogers came through as a youngster at west brom is albion and went to manchester city where he never broke through, and has gone through the leads where he has impressed at

6:39 pm
would send the confirmation on that. hoc striker, albanian international, has only scored two goals this season, but testament to how in demand he is.— season, but testament to how in demand he is. he's looking at the moment to _ demand he is. he's looking at the moment to be — demand he is. he's looking at the moment to be on _ demand he is. he's looking at the moment to be on the _ demand he is. he's looking at the moment to be on the loan - demand he is. he's looking at the moment to be on the loan to - demand he is. he's looking at the moment to be on the loan to for. moment to be on the loan to for them. chelsea had put a valuation on him of £50 million despite the goal—scoring record, and there's a big lone figure involved, which tells a story for chelsea, because they are no other club under pressure for the premier league spending rules and want to maximise —— maximise the finances of the players. it will be a theme in a transfer window, and a theme in a quieter deadline this evening. joe will stay across this for us. in a moment, we'll head to katie gornall where newcastle have had an unusually quiet window this time. but first to alex howell at west ham where they are playing bournemouth this evening and they've been wheeling and dealing.

6:42 pm
player —— the club would have to sell before they could buy because of the profit and sustainability rules and we saw a bid coming earlier in the window for carrie and trippierfrom buying munich but the message from the club was that kieran trippier was a player too important to lose, he may be 3a and in the final 18 months of his contract, but he has been a transformative signing for newcastle and a huge leader on the pitch and off. similarfor callum and a huge leader on the pitch and off. similar for callum wilson, attracting interest from spain. one player who could have the parts it was miguel almiron, who was linked with the move to saudi arabia, but the paraguay international is staying, eddie howe said, he described him as an important player, which means have your main kilo is on a player to the part, and if the situation remains like that when the deadline closes, eddie howe will be pleased. haifa when the deadline closes, eddie howe will be pleased-— will be pleased. how much you think rofits and will be pleased. how much you think profits and sustainability _ will be pleased. how much you think profits and sustainability rules - profits and sustainability rules have played a part for newcastle and other clubs this deadline? i

6:44 pm
of a bind and for newcastle united finds it is frustrating because they feel like in some sense there club has won the lottery but they cannot the ticket. ., ., has won the lottery but they cannot the ticket. ., ~ , ., ., ., the ticket. thank you katie gornall from st. the ticket. thank you katie gornall from st- james — the ticket. thank you katie gornall from st. james as _ the ticket. thank you katie gornall from st. james as part. _ exciting times for this man here — shaoib bashir — who's all set to make his england test debut tomorrow, in the second test against india — it's an incredible rise for the 20 year old — who comes into replace jack leach.. bashir�*s played just six first class matches — and first came to the attention of captain ben stokes when bowling for somerset through social media. stokes says he fully backs bashir, and is looking forward to him hopefully putting on a show.. as england look to go up 2—0 up in the five match series in india. well, the man facing bashir in that social video, was none other than sir alastair cook, the former england captain — bashir was facing his essex side. he told the bbc�*s test match special, that it will be special to see bashir, who's a spinner, getting the ball
6:45 pm
if you can spin the ball, the control and discipline and learning how to, you can teach all of that, but the ability to set been the ball is one. he is tall, and has very natural attributes will help. what i was impressed with when i faced him was impressed with when i faced him was he didn't bowl that many bad balls. he had control. it's a business —— big ask for any 18—year—old to come in and play, but they had a lot of issues and rights with picking players, if they didn't think he was ready for it they wouldn't be selecting him. the bbc�*s chief cricket writer stephan shemilt is in vizag for the second test, and said bashir�*s place in the team is fitting with the way england selectors have been spotting talent in the ranks. it isa it is a very modern way of national teams _ it is a very modern way of national teams and — it is a very modern way of national teams and international teams choosing — teams and international teams choosing cricketers. england have a vast departments of talent spotting and even _ vast departments of talent spotting and even have little cameras on the

from us from _ right here on bbc news. that's it from us from sportsday, - right here on bbc news. that's it from us from sportsday, thanksl right here on bbc news. that's it l from us from sportsday, thanks for watching, take care. hello. well, we're into february, just about — traditionally regarded as a very cold month, but of course, these days it can be far from it. in fact, over the next few days, it's going to be exceedingly mild across most of the uk, and on top of that, very windy, too. storm ingunn still wrapping up there across parts of scandinavia, nowhere near as strong as it was, but still producing some gales. to the south of that, we have new weather fronts, and south of that, this area of high pressure building this ridge, and it's allowing the warmer current of air from the southern climes to stream in our direction. so, all the cold air is pushed towards the east and the north of europe, and this pattern's with us here, really, for the next few days. it's also going to bring that wind, a lot of atlantic cloud. at times, there'll be some rain, such is the case in western

parts of scotland — quite damp here, a bit of drizzle around western coast. and these are morning temperatures — 7 degrees in london, 10—11 for some of our northern towns and cities. so, a mild start to friday now, perhaps won't feel quite as mild as it could. it's because the wind will be pretty strong tomorrow, particularly gusty around some of these north western coast of scotland, also to the east of the pennines — a0—50 mph gusts. but on the thermometer with a bit of brightness, perhaps even 15 expected across aberdeenshire. now, the same pattern continues into friday and indeed the weekend, friday, saturday, sunday, with high pressure to the south and big loads traversing to the north of us. we've got a pressure gradient, so those strong winds blowing across the uk, and they frequently push in a lot of cloud and at times some rain. i think an incursion of slightly colder weather into northern scotland on saturday, so temperatures 6—7 degrees and maybe some wintry showers to the very far north of the uk. and then, the rest of the weekend and into monday, it's the same —

high to the south, low to the north, quite strong winds blowing across the uk and the thicker cloud being pushed in by that west south—westerly. i think it'll be damp in northern ireland on sunday, certainly around western coasts of scotland, the irish sea, too, but mild —10—1a celsius. and this pattern remains very stable across many parts of the uk, mild and cloudy. you can see 1a in london at times, a little bit cooler, but only at times in the north of the country. that's it from me. bye— bye.
